H. Rosenkranz has offered a detailed explanation for the place, which initially had two names (Bertoldisdorf and Hunthobit). It is advisable to reproduce the entire section here: In one case, a Latin document (translated here in German) from Heinrich, Vogt of Gera, from the year 1262 gives us an insight into the events surrounding the founding of a place; it speaks of 'my vassals that I have in the village called Bertoldisdorf and Hundhobit, namely Hermannum Scultetum and the sons of Berthold Bachschenkel. This shows that Bertold Bachschenkel founded Bertoldisdorf, which was named after him, on behalf of Vogt Heinrich, but left his property to his underage sons in 1262, which is why a man named Herman took over the office of mayor (stuck in Scultetus). The addition and Hundhobit suggests that when Bertoldisdorf was founded, a small settlement already existed in the area around Hundehaupt. Both were probably united soon after 1262, because in 1278 it was called Berchtoldistorff, which is Hundheubten, of which only the second place name remained (1289 Huntheubten, 1378 Hunthoyten), which is today Hundhaupten southwest of Gera.

The tree, covered in mistletoe, lends the rest area a special charm. Added to that is the beautiful view of Markersdorf.

Between the two parts of the village of Hundhaupten, the dammed ponds of the Hegebach are idyllically located.
